Reincarnation AU! Modern AU! Eren and Levi grew up with their respective friends, whom all have memories of their past life fighting Titans along each other. That is, everyone except Eren and Levi. Their friends find their lovers and are happy together, and when Eren and Levi finally meet, they feel...nothing?

Yes I know the summary is bad, but I can only fit so much in the summary, ya know?

So better summary: Eren grew up his entire life being told by his friends about a man named Levi who was his lover in their past lives. A past life Eren doesn't remember.

Same goes for Levi, he worries everyday that he could possibly run into this Eren, and never know. A lost love he can't remember.

Until one day, Armin and Erwin find each other, and they're more than eager to introduce Eren to Levi. "I'm telling you, he's the one," they were so sure they would remember each other when they met.

But when grey eyes met green eyes, there's nothing. No spark. No love.

Yes I know the title is from a Taylor Swift song. But can you blame me?

I will be switching between third person POV for both Eren and Levi, but I'll make sure to say at the beginning of the chapter or section or whatever if POV changes.

I have been thinking about this for a while now and I'm finally glad I'm finally writing it. For now there will be daily updates, if not, every other day.

Fav, follow, review, enjoy!

Eren POV

Ever since the day Eren's parents had adopted Mikasa into their family, she became attached to him. Eren didn't mind it much, he liked having a sister. But for the longest time, Mikasa seemed to be keeping something from him. She asked him strange questions, she asked him if he ever dreamt of giant people who tried to eat others. Eren told her they were nightmares and to not worry, that he would protect her, because that's what any brother promises his sister when they have bad dreams.

His best friend, Armin, would ask him if he remembered them living in a village enclosed by walls, where they had never visited the ocean or seen forests. He asked Eren is he remembered zipping through the city using gears with wires. Eren told him he had very strange dreams and that when they were bigger they would go to the beach, because that's what you tell your best friend when they telly you about their crazy dreams.

When Eren was 8, when they adopted Mikasa, Eren introduced the two. Well truth is, he didn't really have to, he never even got to saying their names. As soon as they saw each other, they were crying in each other's arms, mumbling each other's names. Eren was confused, they seemed to know each other without ever meeting. But as an 8 year old, he was just happy his two best friends got along.

Years to come, their meeting bugged him and when he asked them, they always said, "I was just happy to make a new friend," always the same answer from both of them, at any given time. That really bugged Eren, he couldn't help but think that they were hiding something from him.

When he got to middle school, things got stranger. Both Mikasa and Armin made friends with people so easily, when he was the outgoing one. Not to mention their new friends seemed to know them well already as well, even Eren. Eren always felt that they were all whispering behind his back.

The Saturday before their first day of high school, Armin slept over their house and Eren decided he needed to know. He questioned them and asked them until they finally gave in. They told him about a past life where they fought giant human eating humanoids they called Titans. And all their friends, Jean, Marco, Ymir, Annie, Christa, Bertolt, Reiner, Sasha, Connie, all of them, were a part of this life. Apparently they all had these 'dreams.' That is, everyone except for Eren.

Eren stared at them dumbfound as they spoke. Eren felt left out, how could he be friends with this people when he wasn't even a part of this. When he voiced this to Mikasa and Armin, they assured him that they remembered him, that's why Mikasa was so attached to Eren when they first met. And why Armin was the complete opposite of Eren but still felt so comfortable with him when they first met at daycare.

Armin told him how some of them were together in this past life, Jean and Marco, Sasha and Connie, Ymir and Christa, Bert and Reiner. Eren looked at him in disbelief, they weren't even in high school, how could they possibly know love. But the couples dated all through high school, and then through college.

It was strange for Eren, now that the others knew that he knew of this past life, they felt more comfortable talking about it around him, whereas before they would make sure to not mention it around him. But it was still strange, for them to remember these things so vividly, yet he didn't.

They told him about how him and Jean always managed to find a way to fight and it was always up to Mikasa or Marco to pull them apart. They told him about how much he was determined to kill these titans who had killed his mother. That was one of the things that was hardest for Eren to learn, that he lost his mother at a young age. He couldn't imagine his life without his mother, his warm, kind mother who was always there for him.

The other tough thing for Eren to learn was he had a lover. They never told him directly. But there were names that always came up. They would constantly ask Armin if he had found his Erwin yet, which would always make Armin blush and shake his head. Sasha seemed to be intrigued by a women named Hange, who, when described, Eren thought would be a fun, crazy women. There were other names always bounced around, Petra, Mike, Eld, and some others, but there was one that ALWAYS came up right along Eren's, Levi.

Eren tried to rack his brain, Levi, Levi, Levi. Who is Levi? Apparently he could be an ass, especially since he was the Corporal of a squad, but he was still liked. Feared but liked. And from Eren could gather, he really liked Levi. But he couldn't remember anything about him. He asked Armin to describe him to Eren often, but Eren could never remember him. He didn't sound like anything special, but maybe Eren shouldn't say that about his lover. Wait, were they even lovers? Would Eren ever meet him.

Eren would stay up late at night trying to force himself to remember, but it only ever resulted in lost hours of sleep and a major headache. Eren had hopes that if he couldn't remember his best friends, he had to remember his lover, right? Apparently the answer was no.

Now, Eren was in college, his first year, dorming with Armin, and of course, all their friends were attending the same school and living in the same dorm. Eren had grown accustomed to being around them for so long, and he did truly love them, even though he didn't feel as connected as he knew they did.

Eren was just back from his first class on his first day. He was surprised he didn't feel all that nervous. He was even more surprised that his shared room with Armin seemed to actually be neat. But he knew that would only last for a couple days, at least on his side. He put his syllabus on top of his desk, a reminder to himself to add important dates on his calendar. He threw himself onto his bed, why he picked at 8 am class, he had no idea.

Eren was just beginning to doze off when Armin ran in and jumped into his own bed, literally jumped. He was as giddy as the first time his grandfather let him sleep over Eren's house, also the first time Armin had ever experienced a sugar rush. He continued to jump on his bed until Eren had to ask him what happened.

"Eren! I found him!" Armin grabbed his pillow and held it close to his chest as he fell happily onto his bed.

"Found who?" Eren sat up, he obviously wasn't going to go back to sleep if Armin was going to be acting like this.

"Erwin!" he threw his pillow and went to grab Eren's hands, "I finally found Erwin,"

"Erwin Smith? As in, your past lover?"

"Yes! That Erwin," Armin let go of Eren's hands to lay on the floor, "and he remembers me," Armin then continued to tell Eren about how he had gotten there early to class, to introduce himself to his Professor, only to realize that Professor Smith was Erwin Smith. He couldn't even explain to Eren what he felt when their eyes met. He told Eren that they couldn't even speak a word to each other, instead they just embraced and Armin began to tear up. When they pulled back, Erwin held his hand and squeezed it and told Armin that he had missed him.

"I wanted to grab him right then and there and kiss him,"

"Why didn't you?" Eren asked him.

"Another student came in, luckily we were far apart by then and it wasn't too obvious what we had ben doing. Erwin said we would meet up later for lunch and talk since he has classes to teach until then," Armin rolled around on the floor and then sat up, "you have no idea how happy I am, Eren. I finally found him,"

Armin continued to tell Eren all about Erwin, telling him more stories from their past life. He talked until Eren had to go to class. Unfortunately, Eren miscalculated the amount of time it would take him to actually get to class, which happened to be on the other side of the very large campus, and he ended up having to run through the path that ran through the triangle. And he ran until he bumped into someone and spilled coffee all over both of them. Luckily, it was iced coffee, so it wasn't so bad. At least that's what Eren thought, the stranger did not.

"You brat! Will you watch where you're going?" Eren looked at his drenched shirt and then to the man standing in front of him. He was short, almost a foot shorter than Eren, he had really pale, translucent skin, which stood out against the jet black undercut he sported. He was dressed in a really nice, black suit, everything prim and proper from head to toe. Not a single hair out of place. He looked like he belonged on one of those magazines advertising the suit, well maybe except for the coffee stain.

"I'm really sorry, sir," he wasn't too sure what else to say, he was sorry. This guy looked mean and permanently angry.

"Sorry isn't going to clean my suit, you brat,"

"I'm not a brat," Eren said angrily, "it's not like I wanted to run into you. It was an accident. I don't know if you noticed but I also got coffee spilled on me," he didn't want to sound rude, , his mother didn't raise him to be rude, but he did have a short temper, thanks to his father.

"Oh hmm, let's examine the damages, why don't we," Eren frowned, he didn't like the sarcastic tone this guy was giving him, "your t-shirt probably cost at most $20, my suit costs about 20 times that. So the damage is not the same,"

Eren sighed, the angry man had a point, "look, I'm sorry, okay. I'm in a hurry. I don't want to start off college skipping class. I truly am sorry, I didn't mean to ruin you're overly priced suit,"

The man gave him a look of disbelief, but it gradually turned into an understanding one, "ok, whatever, apology accepted. Just go to class and watch who you run into, will ya? Or next time I will be sending you my dry cleaning bill,"

Eren was too afraid to laugh, so he saluted the man, "got it, sir," and ran off again. He did not want to cross that man ever again.
